Matija Solce

Musician, puppeteer, actor and director as well as puppetry proffesor, festival organiser and activist, Matija Solce, finished doctor studies on Alternative Theatre and Puppetry at the Prague theatre academy (DAMU), on the theme of “The musical perspective of puppet theatre”. In his works he closely connects music and theatre, and therefore his concerts often turn into interactive theatre performances, or his puppet shows become musical compositions.

With his accordion and suitcase full of puppets he travelled the globe, experiencing venues as extreme as prisons, ashrams, people’s bedrooms or big halls of international festivals. So far he was awarded over 20 times.
